The Perspective on Youth (pYV) EQ Assessment: Gain Insight into a Youth's Brain Style and Talents

Are you an educator who’s wondered about your young students’ EQ skills? Are you a parent curious about your child’s brain style? What value might there be in taking a Perspective on Youth (pYV) survey on a child you know?

What is the pYV?

This tool gives an adult’s Perspective about a child’s EQ competencies and Brain Style. The pYV may deliver both a full report on a youth’s EQ competencies and also a one-page report on the youth’s Brain Style. Since the SEI Youth Assessment (SEI-YV) is normed for children ages 7-18, we created the pYV for use with younger children who cannot fill out their own assessment; it can also be used to identify an adult’s perspective on any age child.

How does it work?

An adult (eg parent or teacher) fills in the questionnaire. The pYV questions are similar to the youth SEI-YV self-assessment, but instead of being a “self-report,” the questions are answered by you, the adult, based on your observations of the youth’s behavior and attitudes.

Two reports are available from the pYV. The first, the full pYV report discusses the youth’s EQ skills and his/her behavioral outcomes, called "Barometers of Life.” The second, the Perspective on Youth Brain Brief Profile (pYV-BBP) is also available.

Similar to the adult Brain Brief, the Perspective on Youth Brain Brief Profile helps young people and the adults who work with them understand how their brain focuses and decides, and what drives it. These evidence-based profiles help youth, parents, and educators recognize the child’s key talents and strengths and how they can use these effectively for school and life success.

Participants who register up to one day prior to the webinar may take a free pYV on a child that they know and receive a pYV Brain Brief Profile. (A full pYV with a debrief is available for an additional cost). Links will be provided upon registration and reports will be available to those attending the webinar.
